The Duchy of Leuren (Leurenese: Herzogtum vun Leuren) is an autonomous ducal governorship located within Hesperia. It is bordered by Atmora in the east, representing the Federal State of Asvarre, and Ryurik Rossiya in the west. The duchy received its autonomy in 1887 after massive pressure from protest groups that were centered around the region, and has been ruled by a Grand Duke since. The population of the autonomous duchy is 18 million per the January 2017 census, which was also done nationwide.

Leuren's capital is Schärfurt, with a population of 600,000. It is always where the hub of the fledgling Leurenese language is situated, and it has been a hallmark of its apparent autonomy. Its Grand Duke is Hubrecht II, ruling from 1998, it has boasted its full autonomy as it possesses a parliament and its own currency. It has been in major discussion after talks of an independence referendum surrounded the country in 2016.

Leuren also boasts having a foreign Governor-General, as they are usually the counterpart of the Hesperic government. The country has been categorised as stable, and a place where culture has played a big part in setting itself onto the world stage.

Etymology

Leuren comes from the word High Leurenese "loeren" which means to peddle.
